Yes. Thanks for your opinion regarding the myth of free-will. It's a grand one and it has inspired strong individuals to attain better lives for themselves. Unfortunately, most people are not strong-willed individuals. The main reason for that is because there are cultural factors that send negative-self-image messages to us every second.
Most of the rest of the world is not so strong willed. Taking a look around makes that clear. I wouldn't say ranting and raving at them to take more responsibility for their lives is an effective way to improve the condition of the world. It it were that easy, I'd certainly advocate it. As it is not, I am in favor of legislation to protect society at large from the manipulativeness that has been proven highly effective in persuading people to buy advertised products.
We wake up in the morning in advertised bedsheets, brush our teeth with advertised dental products, put on advertised makeup and clothing, eat advertised foods for breakfast, drive advertised cars to work and listen to advertised music on advertised radio stations, read advertised magazines and watch advertised films, etc.
